Eva air

[JSVP08 3]

hi to all

anyone here fly by eva air? we are contemplating between eva air and hawaiian airlines to sac,ca..... the former is really cheap at 431usd(inclusive of tax) one way on sept but are there any issues at taipei stop-over? if ever i will have 5 hrs of waiting to leave again to sac. Will i be able to go out the airport for window shopping perhaps just to burn my time? ive been to taiwan (taipei)before but on work visa so i dont know if we needed visa to be able to get out of the airport while waiting on board again.

or other airline suggestions are welcome.

thank u for reading and replying..... bless to everyone

as far as i know, you cannot go out of the airport during stop overs.

did you check any travel agents? I've heard first time immigrant to US gets discounts

for airfare.

If incase you have 5 hrs layover before your next trip, don't worry about it. Time goes fast actually. I had 4 hrs waiting at Newark Airport but with all the walking from the time i arrived there and going to the next waiting lounge, 4 hrs was just enough for me. Was able to rest and refresh, call my fiance and ate. You can't go out from the airport. And also, we bought out ticket from vayama.com.

I just take my laptop and watch some Hulu on the layover... wifi is a great thing for layovers... always pack a few DVDS just in case there is no wifi...

as far as ur lay over, thats a pretty big airport lots of stuff to do, also if i remember correctly Internet i free there so u can always get on line for a while.

We found the best rates on Cheapoair.com this year, but since ticket prices change so frequently it takes a lot of searching to get the best price. If you do a search on VJ there have been a couple recent posts with great suggestions on finding tickets here in the Phil forum

I flew on Eva Air before when they were still using 747-400 COMBI,,,the service wasn't that great. Now they are using brand new 777 from TPE-SFO. Maybe the service has change. No issue at all in Taipei. You can shop around at both Airport Terminals. Never flew on Hawaiian Airlines but i heard they are still on a 2 (70lbs) free luggage. So you have a connecting flight from San Francisco to Sacramento?
